Cracked has article '7 Songs From Your Grandpa's Day that Would Make Eminem Blush'. Certainly there have been some dark blues lyrics out there, but these, well...
Just in case some of you want to check them out...
good post. i think careless love an boom boom out goes the lights should have been put on there too. maybe not as dark but violent for sure.

jeeze, and we get a hard time for our Cock-a-Doodle-Do-Ya
e.g., Sun is a risin, I'm a scratching at the door Time to get up baby, I'm crowing for more I'm going to Cock-a-Doodle-Do-Ya I'm going to Cock-a-Doodle-Do-Ya I'm going to Cock-a-Doodle-Do-Ya Come the first light of day
Of course, these are just a little carnal in a good natured way, but this thread reminded me of these.
From Mississippi John Hurt's "Ain't No Tellin":
The way we're goin now, my back and shoulders tired, The way we're goin now, my back and shoulders tired, The way we're goin now, my back and shoulders tired, Roll on over, I'll try it from the side.
From MJH's "Candyman";
"His stick of candy don't melt away, It just gets better, so the ladies say.
All the ladies, Mr. Jones has said, they always take sticks of candy to bed."
I think it would be hard to beat Harmonica Frank Floyd's Shampoo. You can listen to it here, tell kids and wives to leave room first and when you listen to this, remember that Frank was born in 1908! http://music.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.artistalbums&artistid=17982314&ap=0&albumid=10376201
On blues songs, "My Sweet Farmgirl" has to be on anybody's list. Here's Clarence Ashley and Gwen Foster from the 1920s... It's gonna be hard to top lines like: "She loves her daddy, because I'm long and hard."
